Answer:

The nth term will be:

a_n=-5n+30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

25, 20, 15, 10, 5​

An Arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by

a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

Computing the common difference of all the adjacent terms

25,\:20,\:15,\:10,\:5

20-25=-5,\:\quad \:15-20=-5,\:\quad \:10-15=-5,\:\quad \:5-10=-5

As the difference between all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

d=-5

Also, the first term is:

a_1=25

Hence, the nth term will be:

a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

a_n=-5\left(n-1\right)+25        ∵ a_1=25, d=-5

a_n=-5n+30

Therefore, the nth term will be:

a_n=-5n+30

Answer:

Solution,

First term (a) = 25

Common difference (d) = Second term - first term = 20 - 25 = -5

Now,

nth term = a + (n - 1)d = 25 + (n - 1) (-5) = 25 - 5n +5 = 30 - 5n

The nth term of the series is 30 - 5n

Triangle FGH has the following side lengths: FG = 5 ft, GH = 10 ft, HF = 12 ft Triangle PQR is similar to triangle FGH. The long
7nadin3 [17]
The first thing we must do for this case is find the scale factor.
 We have then that for the larger side of both triangle, the scale factor is:
 k =  \frac{RP}{HF}
 k = \frac{7.2}{12}
 k = 0.6
 To find the other two sides, we must apply the scale factor on each side of the triangle FGH.
 We have then:

 For PQ
 
PQ = k * FG

PQ = 0.6 * 5

PQ = 3

 For QR
 
QR = k * GH

QR = 0.6 * 10

QR = 6

 Answer:
 
You have that the lengths for the other two sides of triangle PQR are:
 
PQ = 3

QR = 6

If 5x – 4 = 31, what is the value of x?​
Lunna [17]

Answer:

x = 5 \frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

So, to answer this problem, I'll use the reverse method.

31 - 4 = 27,

So how many times, can 5 go into 27?

The closest factor of 5 to 27 is 25.

5 can go in to 27,  5 times.

Continuing on, there is a 2 left over, so the answer to your question is

x = 5 \frac{2}{5}

5 · 5 \frac{2}{5} - 4 = 31

Let me know if I am incorrect and I will attempt to find the right answer for you.

Use stoke's theorem to evaluate∬m(∇×f)⋅ds where m is the hemisphere x^2+y^2+z^2=9, x≥0, with the normal in the direction of the
ludmilkaskok [199]
By Stokes' theorem,

\displaystyle\int_{\partial\mathcal M}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r=\iint_{\mathcal M}\nabla\times\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S

where \mathcal C is the circular boundary of the hemisphere \mathcal M in the y-z plane. We can parameterize the boundary via the "standard" choice of polar coordinates, setting

\mathbf r(t)=\langle 0,3\cos t,3\sin t\rangle

where 0\le t\le2\pi. Then the line integral is

\displaystyle\int_{\mathcal C}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r=\int_{t=0}^{t=2\pi}\mathbf f(x(t),y(t),z(t))\cdot\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\langle x(t),y(t),z(t)\rangle\,\mathrm dt
=\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\langle0,0,3\cos t\rangle\cdot\langle0,-3\sin t,3\cos t\rangle\,\mathrm dt=9\int_0^{2\pi}\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt=9\pi

We can check this result by evaluating the equivalent surface integral. We have

\nabla\times\mathbf f=\langle1,0,0\rangle

and we can parameterize \mathcal M by

\mathbf s(u,v)=\langle3\cos v,3\cos u\sin v,3\sin u\sin v\rangle

so that

\mathrm d\mathbf S=(\mathbf s_v\times\mathbf s_u)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\langle9\cos v\sin v,9\cos u\sin^2v,9\sin u\sin^2v\rangle\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

where 0\le v\le\dfrac\pi2 and 0\le u\le2\pi. Then,

\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal M}\nabla\times\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_{v=0}^{v=\pi/2}\int_{u=0}^{u=2\pi}9\cos v\sin v\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=9\pi

as expected.
